A message appears in the Fiery Software Manager.dmg that the Fiery Software Manager must be updated. It is not possible to download the CWS 5.8 without updating the Fiery software manager. After updating, CWS 5.8 is no longer available. This is the error!

Once downloaded, I have the full package, it's named FieryApplicationsPackage44.dmg and it's 576MB.

Open that package and inside I have an object called 'Install Fiery Command Workstation 5.8'. I clicked on that, ran it, and at the end I have CWS5 installed, and working. I never saw or opened Fiery Software Manager as part of this whole procedure.

Here's what I'm thinking could've happened - when you uninstalled CWS6 you used a Fiery Software Uninstaller version that was older, not the version that shipped with CWS6. To rectify this, grab the full CWS6 package from here and take the Fiery Software Uninstaller.

Run it to uninstall any CWS, Hot Folders or other Fiery software apps you have installed. Once you remove the last one it should prompt 'Remove Fiery Software Manager as well?' - Click yes.

Im also trying to reinstall/uninstall the software manager but cant find the
uninstaller file(im on a PC but i guess there should be a uninstaller file in the same package for PC aswell. I read somewhere else (cant find the thread now) where someone wrote that there should be a "Fiery Software Manager Unistaller" folder in the Extended Applications Package 44
